Definitions
- the present invention relates to a particulate laundry composition scoop.
- An objective of the invention is to provide an improved scoop for dosing and dispensing a particulate laundry composition which can be made from environmentally acceptable material
- the present invention provides a folding scoop suitable for scooping a particulate laundry composition, the scoop comprising:
- a handle comprising a compressed concertina formation
- an open-ended reservoir comprising a base wall and side walls wherein the side walls of reservoir are continuous with and, in use, compressive upon the concertina formation thereby providing the handle.
- the user can simply grasp the side walls (ideally between finger and thumb) to compress the concertina portion, which creates the handle automatically without any complicated procedures.
- This action also effects erection of the reservoir, making erection a very simple procedure. Accordingly, the erection can be effected by a light pinch.
- the reservoir includes a tapered portion which tapers inwardly in the direction of the handle.
- the tapered wall is inclined upwardly in the direction of the handle. This tapered wall may abut the sidewalls as the concertina formation is compressed to provide a strong structure for scooping particulate laundry compositions.
- Such a strong structure is advantageous in the case of dense/easily clogged compositions or compositions where a large dose is needed and so a substantial amount of force (weight force, friction force, force from the users hand etc.) is transmitted to the scoop.
- the concertina is defined by at least one peak fold line defining a peak, preferably a central peak, of the concertina formation.
- the concertina is defined by at least two fold lines defining two troughs of the concertina formation. Preferably these are respective sides of the peak.
- the tapered portion is defined by two tapering fold lines and more preferably one continuous V-shaped fold line. Preferably this intersects with and is contiguous with the peak fold line of the concertina formation, thereby forming a Y-shaped fold.
- the sidewalls may be defined by respective longitudinal fold lines to enable tight fitting of the side walls around the tapered section.
- the base of the tapered section may be defined by a fold line. This fold line may then form the intersection between the base wall and tapered section.
- the open-ended reservoir base wall may be defined by fold lines.
- the fold lines may be provided by scoring and/or pre-folding of the scoop material.
- the folding scoop may be formed from a sheet material which may be a rectangle or square. No cutting is required, although scoring can be used to effect fold lines.
- the fold scoop may be provided as a flat sheet and preferably it is provided with fold lines. It may be provided a with the side walls pre-folded in onto the base of the reservoir, so that scoop erection is thereby facilitated.
- One or more walls which become superposed during erection may be pre-glued, to provide a sift-proof scoop.
- pill includes powders, granules, agglomerates, beads, noodles and film particles and may include encapsulated laundry components.
- the scoop is coloured so that it corresponds with the predominant colour of the package.
- Figure 1 shows the scoop in a partially folded state prior to erection by pinching
- Figure 2 shows the scoop of figure 1 after erection
- Figure 3 shows the blank of Scoop.
- a folding scoop 1 is shown, the scoop being suitable for scooping a particulate laundry composition.
- the scoop comprises a handle comprising a compressed concertina formation 25 and an open-ended reservoir 27 comprising a base wall 15 and side walls 17, 19, 21 , 23.
- the side walls 17, 19, 21 , 23 of reservoir 27 are continuous with and, in use, compressible upon the concertina formation 25 thereby providing the handle 31.
- the reservoir includes a tapered portion 33 which tapers inwardly in the direction of the handle 31.
- the tapered portion 33 is inclined upwardly in the direction of the handle 31.
- this tapered portion 33 abuts the sidewalls 21 , 23 as the concertina formation 25 is compressed to provide a strong structure for scooping a particulate laundry composition (not shown).
- Such a strong structure is advantageous in the case of dense/easily clogged compositions or compositions where a large dose is needed and so a substantial amount of force (weight force, friction force, force from the users hand etc.) is transmitted to the scoop 1.
- the concertina 25 is comprises a central peak defined by a central fold line 5.
- Two further fold lines 3, 7 defining two troughs of the concertina 25. These troughs are located on respective sides of the peak.
- the tapered portion is defined by two tapering fold lines 9 and 11 , which form one continuous V-shaped fold line, seen more clearly in figure 2. This intersects with and is contiguous with the peak fold line 5 of the concertina formation 25, thereby forming a Y-shaped fold line.
- the sidewalls 17, 19, 21 , 23 are defined by respective longitudinal fold lines 3,7 to enable tight fitting of the side walls 17, 19, 21 , 23 around the tapered section 33.
- Transverse folds in the side walls 13 correspond to the apex of the tapered section enables a tight fit.
- a further embodiment incorporates transverse lines 35 corresponding with the apex of the tapered section.
- the base of the tapered section is defined by the fold line 13. This fold line forms the intersection between the base 15 and tapered section 13.
- the fold lines may be provided by scoring and/or pre-folding of the scoop material.
- the folding scoop is formed from a simple rectangular sheet of paperboard. No cutting is required, although scoring can is used to effect fold lines.
- the fold scoop may be provided as an unerected blank or pre-folded. It may be provided a with the side walls 17,19,21 ,23 pre-folded in onto the base and uncompressed concertina portion of the reservoir, so that scoop erection is thereby facilitated.
- One or more walls which become superposed during erection may be pre-glued e.g. wall portions 21 and 23 may be pre-glued so that they adhere to portions 39 and 41 , to provide a scoop with improved sift-proof properties.
